### 1/5 — Unable to generate registration code

*2026-04-03, version 2026.01.07*

App is throwing an error “The operation could not be completed. (Production.encryptionError.error1) while requesting to generate code for device registration

### 1/5 — App is broken cannot login

*2026-03-27, version 2026.01.07*

App stop working cannot login…. Why??

### 1/5 — Ironically bad

*2026-03-15, version 2026.01.07*

It’s ironic how bad an app this is given it’s supposed to teach you how to code….

### 1/5 — Shamefully lazy implementation

*2026-03-14, version 2026.01.07*

The app is a web view wrapper of the Pluralsight website, which itself is not optimised for mobile devices. As a result, the app is barely usable and not well integrated with iOS - the many issues with the player interface are well documented here by other reviewers. In addition, the functionality is very basic and many features available on the website are not available in the app. This is a very barebones, extremely lazy implementation of a mobile “application”. Shame on Pluralsight - for the high cost of the subscription the users should get a native iOS app experience as the current UX falls short of any reasonable expectation.

### 1/5 — Bad update

*2026-02-24, version 2026.01.07*

New app is awful. Hard to tell where you need to continue on the training and videos no obvious way to download the videos offline. When app is minimised it reset where you were and you have to find the video again.  What was wrong with the old app! All these companies make changes that don’t seem necessary and their product gets worse

### 1/5 — Unable to sign in on iPhone 15 Pro Max

*2026-02-09, version 2026.01.07*

Unable to sign in on iPhone 15 Pro Max

### 1/5 — Worst Learning App Ever!

*2026-02-05, version 2026.01.07*

The app on my IPAD does not have a “last video viewed” which is pretty damn standard in any and all learning sites…  And I tried bookmarking were I left off only to find out that there is not bookmark location for me to go back to review my bookmarks? I tried contacting support and all they do is divert me to articles that tell me to go to a non existing bookmark link! Don’t know how anyone will be able to finish any courses on this app, if you cannot even save your progress.

### 1/5 — Not good at all

*2026-01-21, version 2026.01.07*

Got rid of the Apple TV App.  App doesn’t remember anything. Maybe they could use Pluralsight to learn how to write an Apple TV app

### 1/5 — No access

*2026-01-19, version 2026.01.07*

I can’t use SSO so I can use the resources provided by my school

### 1/5 — Sso is not working

*2026-01-16, version 2026.01.07*

Sso is not working

### 1/5 — SSO not working

*2026-01-11, version 2026.01.07*

After the latest update, SSO is no longer working. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but the issue persists.

### 1/5 — WTH

*2026-01-09, version 2025.12.17*

What are you even trying to do with this app? Cannot even login via sso.

### 1/5 — Why did you make me switch app versions?!

*2026-01-03, version 2025.12.17*

Confusing scheme. All my downloaded content was inaccessible. 

This review originally posted on English language (USA). It is my opinion based on my own personal experience. If you don’t like it, then grow a thicker skin; or move to a country/state where they protect your fragile, immature feelings, like Texas and Oklahoma.

### 1/5 — Stole from me

*2026-07-20, version 2026.05.25*

I downloaded the app because I remembered using it long ago and liking it. I couldn’t download anything from the app. The app is horrible. Nothing works, and then I was charged after I canceled on the app. Don’t waste your time. It’s all Garbage and the app is Garbage. I want my money back. I got charged because the app doesn’t work and didn’t delete my account properly.

### 1/5 — App update breaks App

*2026-06-04, version 2026.05.25*

Recent update appears to have broken the app. (Client Error:BRDS3) I have removed and re installed now I am unable to sign into the app.

### 1/5 — Untested garbage

*2026-05-27, version 2026.04.22*

This app will let you navigate to a view and then give you no way to leave it. No hamburger icon, no finger gestures, nothing. Your options are too close out the app or give up.

### 1/5 — sso broken

*2026-05-21, version 2026.04.22*

sso broken

### 1/5 — Worst user experience

*2026-05-18, version 2026.04.22*

I purchased this expensive and useless subscription just because I wanted cloud guru courses. Every time I search, I am getting 8m to 45m courses. 

It’s dumb. I wouldn’t recommend anyone to join and spend time just understanding this worst app.

### 1/5 — Can’t access courses! Literally, failed on the basics!

*2026-05-01, version 2026.04.22*

Sadly it just doesn’t work. I signed in via SSO to my account paid for by my employer - signed in, but displayed an error.

When I try and start any course it tells me to upgrade. Signing out and back in doesn’t help.

Just a failure really.

### 1/5 — Unable to Login

*2026-04-29, version 2026.04.22*

Title says it all… unable to use the app because you cannot sign in; it just spins and spins… it doesn’t even time out.

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2026-04-18, version 2026.01.07*

I’m reaching tipping point on this, this app doesn’t even login. No message nothing !

### 1/5 — App Won’t Load Anymore

*2026-04-11, version 2026.01.07*

Not sure what happened to this app. Latest IOS update and now it won’t ever load. They need to do a better job keeping this app functional.

### 1/5 — Download and watch offline is missing

*2026-04-07, version 2026.01.07*

Not sure if this was due to the update but the download to watch offline is missing. Platform is good but this is needed for mobile since sometimes i learn on the go

### 3/5 — Good, but….

*2026-07-15, version 2026.05.25*

Please hide the video progress bar in full screen mode

### 3/5 — Hard to identify courses that were completed

*2025-12-22, version 2025.12.17*

Would be very helpful if when “browsing all” the list of courses shown (Library) would have some indication such as % completion or  even filter for not starts/started/completed. It’s annoying to click on each and every item to see the leaning status

### 3/5 — Latest upgrade not very good

*2025-12-12, version 2025.11.28*

The courses are very good. However, my problem is with the upgrade in Dec 2025. This upgrade eliminated the left quick links that were very convenient. E.g., I now have to use the Browse tab to find the New Releases. Worse is that Continue Learning has been eliminated which means that I need to remember which courses I am working through and manually search or navigate to them.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t load half the time

*2026-03-15, version 2026.01.07*

As the title states, half the time it doesn’t load and the other half it’s extremely slow to load anything.

### 2/5 — Great content, subpar app

*2026-01-24, version 2026.01.07*

The content is great! The app is not. I should be able to easily play a course and lock my phone or do other things on my phone without the audio stopping.

### 2/5 — Latest update does not remember last video section watched

*2026-01-09, version 2026.01.07*

When I’m watching a Pluralsight training course from my mobile phone and then I switch to another app or I switch to another section in Pluralsight, then return to to continue watching the video, Pluralsight restarts to the beginning of the training course. The app does not retain the last video section watched. Very frustrating

### 2/5 — New apps lacking

*2026-01-07, version 2025.12.17*

It was very inconvenient when they forced a new version of their mobile apps. It was disappointing and even more disruptive when they removed the Apple TV app at the same time. This MacOS app does not fill in the gap. I used to be able to watch these videos on the TV in my office and follow along with my laptop. The app’s screen sharing doesn’t work and using AirPlay blacks out the screen. I guess just another reason to cancel this service and find what I need from YouTube.

### 2/5 — Buggy and annoying

*2025-12-29, version 2025.12.17*

This app needs fixing. Firstly, the app gets stuck in an infinite buffering loop in every single video if you come back to the app leaving it in the background for a few minutes or after leaving your device locked. This can only then be fixed by completely closing the app, reopening it, finding the course, and starting the video all over again. Additionally, the UX is very frustrating. For one, the video scrubber doesnt respond half the time , and even when it does its visual indicator that its being touched; scrolling it to reverse or forwards ends with it disappearing for a second doing nothing randomly. Additionally, with other times it doesnt work, the app treats the swiping as opening the side panel whoch then results in accidentally clicking on a random video and having to restart the whole ordeal again. Another issue is with autoplay. On the website, you can fan turn off autoplay, or cancel it from switching your video so you can scroll back in the current one if you need to- nice and easy. For some reason on the app this is not an option, and if you do not stop the video in time you will be stuck with a screen telling you the video that will autoplay, with only a button to cancel, or leave the course. If you cancel, you are left stuck on that screen with the autoplay’s next video title, and are forced to exit the entire course, find it again, go back into the specific module and find that video again. Whats the point having a cancel button if it just leaves you stuck on a screen where you cant continue the video you were on? Why are you trapping us in a purple abyss?
